India to get first all women IIT

Nagpur: As government is increasing number of seats in existing IITs and planning to brought up new IITs in the country, there are proposals to build IIT for females in Amravati, Maharashtra. The place is hometown of H.E. President Smt. Pratibha Patil. The ideas to build first all women IIT came from Saint Gadgebaba University vice-chancellor Kamal Singh. The HRD ministry has already sent the proposal in this regard to Prime Minister Office for consideration.

New Admission Norms for NIT Admissions

MUMBAI: From this academic year (2008 - 09) the out of state students in NITs shall be admitted on the basis of All India Rank in AIEEE instead of state rank. India has 20 NITs. The central government has already given the directives to NITs, such decision was taken because earlier when students were selected on the basis of state rank there were occasions when a student having low all India rank secured admission while other having rank left behind. The central government is acting to upgrade regional engineering colleges in the country since 2002. In 2007 the government has passed the NIT Act under which all the NITs are declared institute of national importance.

Whatever government has done might be in the interest of the aspirants. In my opinion there shall be only two types of quota or reservation. One state and other national, considering the geography of India student from the local state must be given preference if he / she wish to study within the state institute. This shall prevent the escape of human resources from state. For example a student who comes to Delhi for study never goes back to home state. And this number is not only 1 but in thousands per year. This creates overburden on a particular region at one hand and left other region under developed. Meanwhile if students would be given chance and encouraged to learn within the state they would add to development at much better pace of the native state.

Educating the Educators DU Way

The University of Delhi is planning to introduce new BEd programs from next academic session.


The new pragram shall be more practice based. Instead of one year the program duration would be two years. The DU's faculty of education is also working with the UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) on a research-based project on how to make mentors more effective.

Amity offers courses which hone special skills

NEW DELHI: At a time when more and more students want to turn their passion into career, Amity University has come out with innovative programmes to attract and groom budding talents. Categorising them under talented-oriented courses, the university has started programmes in music, dance, sports psychology and competitive intelligence & corporate warfare.

"These courses are especially meant for those seeking to hone their skills in their fields of interest. The best part is that students will land up jobs after completing the courses," said varsity's founder president Ashok Chuahan.

The varsity, which has sold more than a lakh forms this year, also provides a number of professional courses like degrees in biotechnology, nano technology, MBA and engineering. Aiming to create a niche in the science stream, it has announced courses in virology, immunology, space science, avionics and oceanology. Looking at the growing demand for foreign languages, the university has started honours courses in English, French and Spanish.

Commenting on university's move to introduce more courses, Chauhan said: "There is a dearth of quality education in our country, and we are trying to bridge this gap. Most of the government colleges lack modern infrastructure and techniques. We are introducing courses according to the demands of the market. To blend the best of East and West, we conduct exchange programmes with foreign universities."

The university has got tremendous response for its nano technology course. "Amity is the first and only university providing degree courses in the subject. Though we already have two PG and one UG course, we are also planning to start three more courses looking at the growing demand both in India and abroad," said director of nano technology department, R P Singh.

Talking about placements, Chauhan said: "Over 2,500 students have got on-campus recruitments this year and around 800 students have been placed a year before graduating. Leading companies across various disciplines come for campus placements at Amity."

Brushing aside criticism that Amity is meant only for students from the higher strata of society, Chauhan said: "We are not funded by the government, so the expenses can only be shared between the university and students. We provide scholarship to meritorious students."

Join SOL learn and earn

For the students who are turning 17 and undergraduate but in financial crunch the Delhi Universities School of Open Learning (SOL) makes best choice. The school offers open learning courses in Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.). According to a report published in TOI dated 22 June 2008 - "The eligibility criteria for applying to the courses at SOL are relaxed compared to the high cut-off percentages required for admission to the conventional courses offered at DU colleges," says Dr Pokhriyal, executive director, SOL. The SOL is also make great choice for those who can not join regular university college due to high cut-offs. In my opinion students who wanna pursue science and technical courses can join Indira Gandhi National Open University (http://www.ignou.ac.in) as yet DU's SOL not offer courses in sciences and technologies.
